    CR-600 FM Issue

    Okay, I am just listening to mono FM for the time being, on the FM selection. I just got done installing four bulbs and adjusting the bias and dc offset, respectively, asides from the initial purchase clean up. The dc offset was within 0 > 10 mv. , but, I went ahead and got it to the 0 > 5...

    PL-255 Serial number tag trivia

    I just wonder if all the International models got shorted from the US versions(metal ? serial number tag)? My table just has a sticker, where it was obvious a metal plate would be riveted (hole by the sticker)

    CR 600 Bias and DC off set

    Thank you for this heads up. I think my initial check with the meter is showing around 10mv for left and right, before any adjustment.

    CR 600 Bias and DC off set

    I am thinking I need to use the ACV setting with the 200 selection for the bias check?

    CR 600 Bias and DC off set

    I have my 600 open, working on the vu meter bulbs. She runs really cool, and sounds decent with Realistic MC-1800(2 way 50w) and Zenith Allegro 1000(with Foster 3 1/2 horn tweeter and 6 1/2 bass). So, I thought I would just check the numbers on the bias and dc offset. The right was hitting...

    Yamaha CR 600 - So it begins

    I have to put my 600 on hold for awhile. The fm issue, won't play in fm muting, but played in 'FM' (without stereo)and fading out. Well, I will just listen to the radio in mono. To keep it from fading out, I just jumped the tuner dial to the antenna post on fm board.(green alligator clips)...

    Does noting "selling for Parts or Restore only" have any meaning on eBay?

    It's a crap shoot on that site anymore. Tested by powered on only...is another good one. Back in the day, to buy a receiver, all you had to do, more or less, is check to see if the fm worked in stereo and was close to center balance (without hooking up a turntable, tape deck, or cd). The...

    CR-600 power supply board question

    That's great, it's just the dreaded old glue. With my bad eye sight, I was thinking rust. I'm just glad that all the caps in this aren't soaked in that stuff, like some receivers did. I think some of that old glue tore up(deteriorated)boards and stuff.?

    CR-600 power supply board question

    Well, in my search for a am/fm problem with my recent purchase, I stumbled across this on the power supply board. It doesn't look good to me. Does any one know what function it serves in the power scheme? Now I haven't done the Bias or DC offset check yet, but, other than the am/fm problem I...

    Yamaha CR 600 - So it begins

    Thanks for this tip. I once had a newer black model Pioneer receiver that had stereo output problems. I opened it up and inspected the( ifc cans?? on the radio board, and one was not completely solder in place(from the factory), one of the corners was separated from the board. Currently, I...

    Yamaha CR 600 - So it begins

    Here is the final results. The cleaning went well. I don't have a turntable. Aux, tape A & B played great and in stereo(using dvd player). Radio works, but has problems. I actually wanted this 600 for the radio, and I get one with problems. In AM, both VU meters don't move. In FM, I tune...

    Yamaha CR 600 - So it begins

    Yeah, for now, I just need to get the operation functioning(cleaning and adjustments). Right now it's looking like in the tuner section, and the tuning meter(not going to center). The Signal strength seems to be fine. I got the under side up and getting the pots and switches. The lights for...

    Yamaha CR 600 - So it begins

    From first arrival, to the cleaning and testing, then the adjusting. My $40.00 Yammy. I did a quick power up.... VU meter lights OUT, Dial light Good, power light good, AFC/Station light good, Stereo light good. VU meters did function during a FM station search. Very Scratchy switches and...

    Zenith Allegro 3000 vs Zenith Allegro MC-3000

    I just found out that the allegro speakers I have are the 1000's, and with the numbers on the speaker(drivers)are est. 1974. The speaker label is not mine, but, it would be the one that were on the back side of my cabs.

    Zenith Allegro 3000 vs Zenith Allegro MC-3000

    I know this thread is old, but I just had to chime in on these Zenith Allegros. Not sure of my model (which I got for free). But, I decided to take one apart, seeing how I have screws on the back of cabs. Other than the bass, these don't sound too bad.

    Stone Lake, Wisconsin 1980 Music & Art Festival

    Was told that there were only three shows(venues)held in Stone Lake. I had the blue t-shirt of the one in May 1980, with no legible reading. But found a yellow poster for that show(venue). Then I found a t-shirt that says 2nd annual, held in September, but no year date stated.

    I don't really visit here as much to justify keeping server space. I have since sold all my audio gear and media, and moved to other interests. Is there a option for cancelling my account>?

    how does this bx 300 count the tape travel? every time i put a tape in (Maxell xlii-90), by nak only reads half time....like 23:21 It plays at the right speed, as far as I know as it sounds to me. No drag in fwd or rev speeds. edit> I guess from more in dept research, what I am wondering if...
